RAISING the minimum age to get a P-plate licence to 18 would save lives and reduce casualty crashes. 

It's safer. The rate of fatal crashes per kilometre driven is around half as high for teens aged 18 or 19 as for 16- and 17-year-olds. ...

18-year-olds are more emotionally mature than 16-year olds. 

Please sign the petition and help mum and dads keep their children off the roads unsupervised and safe for two more years!
